akblue,
Those hand guards look like cherry wood. Where did you get them?

They are Ironwood Design "seconds" from the Woodpile from back a couple of years ago. They had all sorts of stocks for sale due to wood defects and such. I purchased a bunch on a long shot and repaired or refurbished as needed. Most all of it was fine with some TLC. Off center wood milling in recess fitment or a knot or something.
I should have the M77 fixed up in a few weeks.
I modified a 20 round M14 mag to fit the M77. I got 5 of them at Knob creek for $9.99 each., Korean made but quite nice.

"If they’re going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press ’1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller

Very nice! Some good work done there. Too bad you couldn't get that shop and equipment. Seems that would have been a blast!

A lot cheaper than buying a AWO M76 build for sure. I think AWO was gonna make 20 round .308 mags but nothing I see yet.

They (AWO) modified the MG13 mags to feed 8mm. They use the standard M76 mags to feed the .308. Not sure if the MG13 would feed .308 reliably or not. I have the modified MG13 mags but not a .308 M76. I thought about building one in .308 as I have a couple of extra M76 kits., and Mark at AWO was going to sell me a barrel but the cost was really more than I wanted to pay and seemed a shame to use these kits as they have original M76 stubs and barrels which is a bit more uncommon.

Got my M77 yesterday. Jumped on the $519 Classic Arms deal before the re-pricing. Haven't had time to compare it to my Mitchell M90 308 RPK. Dropped my C&R but had a buddy use his and ordered a couple of extra 10rd mags from Century for $26. Also ordered some M85/M90/M95 Yugo steel 223 30rd mags for $13ea on 3 or more till the end of the month. Those MG13 mags look great in that M76. Modded one for my Hakim years back.

You'll like it I think.
Bud's Gun Shop had the M85/90 mags for $13.95 and Apex has the M77 mags for $28 IIRC for those who do not have Century Arms access with a FFL.

Modifying the M14 mags for the M77 is easy too. Those can be had as cheap as $10-$15.
